Johnny Cash Here was a man Lyrics:
(Joy to the world the Lord is come) Here was a man
a man who was born in a small village the son of a
peasant woman He grew up in another small village
Until he reached the age of thirty he worked as a
carpenter Then for three years he was a traveling
minister But he never traveled more than two
hundred miles from where he was born And where he
did go he usually walked He never held political
office he never wrote a book never bought a home
Never had a family he never went to college and he
never set foot inside a big city Yes here was a
man Though he never did one on the things usually
associated with greatness He had no credentials
but himself he had nothing to do with this world

his friends ran away one of them denied him One of
them betrayed him and turned him over to his
enemies Then he went through the mockery of a
trial And was nailed to a cross between two
thieves And even while he was dying his
executioners gambled For the only piece of
property that he had in this world And that was
his robe his purple robe When he was dead he was
taken down from the cross And laid in a borrowed
grave provided by compassionate friends More than
nineteen centuries have come and gone And today
he's a centerpiece of the human race Our leader in
the column to human destiny I think I'm well
within the mark when I say that all of the armies
that ever marched All of the navies that ever
sailed the seas All of the legislative bodies that
ever sat and all of the kings that ever reigned
All of them put together have not affected the
life of man on this earth So powerfully as that
one solitary life Here was a man (joy to the world
the Lord is come)
